Erm, doubt it could best an LS stock for stock... And the LS has Bluetooth and Navigation comes through Onstar Mikey!!!! I know for a fact, I use both everyday!

But great car nonetheless...

I doubt it could beat it, and I wouldn't call onstar "navigation".

Identify your "its" for what would beat what
And why wouldn't you call it nav? Pops up on the DIC and on the radio, plus it talks and reroutes without having to cal! Works great!

Congrats. I like the styling of the car just not a car I would personally buy

I doubt a 3600+ pound car with an automatic and 2.73 gears could be a lighter turbocharged car. Note though that I said probably because I know nothing about the veloster in terms of HP. Onstar Nav is just a directions list; no map, and I don't want to talk to an advisor to just get from point A to point B.

You SS drivers always underestimate the LS! Read this link from a reliable source (R&T).

The LS would absolutely destroy it from 0-60, in the quarter, and in top end speed! No contest!

Btw, no 200 horsepower Hyundai will ever beat any car I own!

Okay nevermind, figured they would give it at least 250+ HP for being a "turbo" model. Anyway the LS still doesn't have a touchscreen, nav, and leather. From the pictures it also seems to have a nicer interior.

You have 5500 posts and are clueless about v6 camaros

Yea the Matte paint is a pain to Upkeep from what I have seen online like you can really wash it that much or else you will shine it up and get it all uneven but it does look awesome. I think the 0-60 vary for different mags I think Motortrend did It in 7.0 seconds to 60. But the car is as peppy as my Fiat 500 Abarth.

But it's a CAMARO, just like yours.

Was not meant to be a "why didn't you buy a v6 Camaro" thread.
As stated, this is what the wife wanted. I am a Chevy guy all the way. It's a nice car with a good warranty and all of the consumer reports highly rate the car. Lets end the talk of what this has and compare it against the LS model I am not embarrassed to drive the car, I happen to like the "rally car" look. Thanks for the compliments.

Nice looking little car. At the end of the day if your wife is happy then thats what matters I dont know if all the nay sayers are single and not married but that would explain the lack of knowledge as to the vital nature of ensuring the woman of the house is happy. In addition there is always something faster than you out there regardless of what you drive.
